A basketball training system includes a server computer and a basketball training machine. The server computer executes a workout module that manages operation of a graphical user interface that presents a graphical representation of a portion of a basketball court and receives user inputs that define a workout program that includes selected ball delivery locations relative to the visual representation. The basketball training machine receives the workout program and delivers basketballs to the selected ball delivery locations.

An automated tennis ball collector which includes a chassis, a drive train, an energy source, a plurality of wheels, and at least one motor. The automated tennis ball collector is useful for collecting scattered tennis balls after a game or practice without the need to bend and pick them up by hand.

A mobile physical therapy apparatus to be transported by a mobile physical therapy vehicle. The mobile physical therapy apparatus includes a housing detachably connected to an interior of the mobile physical therapy vehicle; a treadmill positioned within and detachably connected to the housing of the mobile physical therapy vehicle; a recumbent bicycle positioned within and detachably connected to the housing of the mobile physical therapy vehicle; a pulley tower weight training system positioned within and detachably connected to the housing of the mobile physical therapy vehicle; an electrical stimulation and ultrasound apparatus positioned within and detachably connected to the housing of the mobile physical therapy vehicle; and a movable patient support table positioned within and detachably connected to the housing of the mobile physical therapy vehicle.

A multifunctional fitness system may allow for high-resistance exercises through the distribution of weight upon a frame pivoting on the ground. In particular implementations, while a user lifts one end of the frame, the opposite end pivots. The weight of another person (and/or that of conventional weighted plates) can be placed on the frame in locations yielding the desired leverage and, thus, resistance felt by the lifter. The frame may have various axes upon which it can pivot and grip points, thus offering a broad range of exercises that can be conducted. Reorienting the frame to be resting on differing sides results in additional feasible exercises. Optional integrated electronics (typically in conjunction with existing smart devices) may use kinematics and/or structural flexing to calculate felt resistance and provide automated instruction to the various users. The may also collapse into a compact, rollable configuration for easy transport.

A training device (1) for training abdominal muscles comprising an arm (3) and a handle (2) for holding with two hands, the handle (2) being attached to or forming an integral part of the arm (3). There are disclosed different embodiments allowing a user to hold the handle (2) and to make arch-like training movements in order to train control of abdominal muscle activity.

This invention relates generally to a ball delivery system and method, and more particularly to a ball delivery system where the axis of rotation of the ball delivered from the system can range from perpendicular to the direction of motion of the ball to parallel to the direction of motion. This invention also permits a user to enter information related to the speed and axis of rotation of the ball. This invention also permits information related to the speed and axis of rotation of the ball to be determined from a video of a ball.

A fight simulation multi-headed, multi-abdomen, multi-armed apparatus is adapted to be used in conjunction with a slip and counter fight simulation apparatus or stand alone apparatus. The fight simulation multi-headed, multi-abdomen, multi-armed apparatus includes a multi-headed member having at least one head attached to at least one abdomen and at least one arm having a glove appending member. Preferably, multiple heads are attached to multiple abdomens with multiple arm pairs to provide different punch configurations for the user to strike at. The multi-headed, multi-abdomen, multi-armed provides various angles adapted for a user to punch, knee, and/or do a flying knee.

A tennis-ball collector which includes a chassis, a drive train, an energy source, wheels, and a motor. The tennis-ball collector is useful for collecting scattered tennis balls after a game or practice without the need to bend and pick them up by hand. The device moves balls using a vacuum system or a drive belt.

A pitcher safety system may be disclosed. The pitcher safety system may be a highly portable weather resistant collapsible pitching net. The pitcher safety system may have a curved body with an opening side, a permanently closed side, a handle side, and a carriage side. A collapsible frame comprising two pivoting base members may be permanently coupled to the interior of the curved body. The collapsible frame, a first pair of connecting members, a second pair of connecting members, and a top connecting member may be quickly coupled to one another to form a fully erected frame and safety net. The pitcher safety system may have a wheeled carriage system coupled to the carriage side, a grab handle coupled to the handle side, and hinged stabilizers coupled to the underside of the permanently closed side of the curved body.

An adjustable basketball system is provided. The system includes a sleeve positioned in a substantially vertical orientation with respect to a surface upon which the system rests. The system further includes a post configured to be inserted partially within the sleeve to functionally engage the sleeve. The system further includes a basketball backboard coupled to a portion of the post not inserted within the sleeve, the basketball backboard further including the basketball rim. The system also includes an actuator that is functionally coupled to the sleeve and the post, wherein actuation of the actuator axially transitions the post with respect to the sleeve to reposition the backboard with respect to the surface.
